Safeguarding Children

Child Support Awareness:
Recent Initiatives

As new issues arise – including new court opinions and federal and state regulations – the Office of the Attorney General’s Public Aid Bureau will continue to work with key members of the child support enforcement community to address the issues and decide how to respond effectively.

To facilitate this collaboration, Attorney General Madigan
is working in conjunction with the Child Support Advisory Council. The role of the
Council is to discuss
issues and problems with the current system and formulate solutions that will assist in collecting the hundreds of millions of dollars that are owed to children and their custodial parents.
The Council convenes four times
each year to address such fundamental topics as:

Support Guidelines Delivery of Services Access and Visitation Enforcement Legislation and Advocacy

By working together, we can provide effective solutions to some of the most difficult issues in child support enforcement and ensure that all Illinois children receive the support they need.
